"You don't have to do this Lilly.. please.." I heard Addison say as I was on the phone with 911. I saw Addison hold her hand out to her, pleading with her to grab her hand, but Lilly wasn't budging.

"She is on the outside of our balcony.. one misstep and she will fall.." I said over the phone, begging for help to get here quick. Even though we had our differences, this isn't what I wanted for Lilly. It was clear that she wasn't right in the mind and needed help.

I walked towards the balcony, passing the phone to Addison as they didn't want to hang up until help arrived. I looked at Lilly, my eyes begging her to walk towards me. "Please Lilly, just take my hand and we can figure this all out." I said in a calm tone, slowly walking towards her.

"No.. you don't love me anymore.." she cried, refusing to take my hand. I sighed, not being willing to lie to her. I couldn't just tell her what she wanted to hear because she was right.. I didn't love her anymore.. and I would never love her again. Addison was the only one who owned my heart.

"You're with Ryan though.. you love Ryan.. and you guys are going to have a child together, you are going to build a life together.." I said, trying to sound supportive of her relationship but Lilly only cried more. "Ryan left me.. I don't have you anymore.. meaning I don't have money or fame.. he doesn't want me anymore.." She said, her voice breaking.

She began to cry uncontrollably and for a second I even almost felt bad for her. Even though Lilly was toxic, her man seemed to be a whole lot worse. As soon as she was no use to him anymore, she dropped him, with her carrying his baby and all..

Lilly screamed as she slipped, almost falling. I ran to her, but she pushed me away as soon as she was able to hold on comfortably again. "Lilly, we both know you don't want to do this, just come with me please.." I asked, Lilly shaking her head.

"I deserve to die.. I ruin everything. I ruined us.. you were the best thing to happen to me and I of course had to ruin that too.." she said in between crying. I sighed as Addison whispered in my ear that help had arrived. We saw a couple of police offers walk up behind her, one of them walking straight towards Lilly.

It was a female who spoke in a calm voice and tried to talk her off the ledge.. quite literally.

As she dealt with Lilly, her partner asked us a variety of questions, Addison looking spooked. I excused us as Addison was clearly overwhelmed by all of the questioning, pulling her aside. Addison cried in my arms as all of this triggered her, I knew it was hitting too close to home.

I held Addison in my arms as I watched the police officer walk Lilly out of our room and downstairs.. straight into an ambulance. "Shh.. it's okay now. She's okay and we are okay.." I whispered in Addison's ear, calming her down.

I put her into bed as I went to deal with the officers downstairs. I made eye contact with an emotional Lilly who was involuntarily being transferred to a Psych Unit. It hurt to see her this way, but this wasn't the woman I fell in love with.. she lost her track somewhere on the way and never looked back.

Neither did I.

"You look so handsome baby!" I said to Bryce as I walked out of my room, having just finished getting my hair and makeup done. He smiled at me as he left a kiss on my shoulder, not wanting to ruin my makeup. "And you look absolutely stunning!" He complimented me as his eyes gazed the long red silk dress that I had on which hugged my curves.

I smiled as I thanked him, looking at myself in the mirror and putting on some earrings to complete my look. We were going to the premiere of my movie tonight. We had finished filming a couple of months ago and it felt surreal to know it was finally coming out. This was the reason I had moved to LA in the first place and it was so nice seeing the project completed.

It has been about ten months since I moved to LA and six months since my incident. All of it was still a process of healing, but I had never been better. Bryce and I had never been better.

As Blake moved in with Amelie, Bryce decided to move in with me. This house was too big for me anyways as Marissa had gotten engaged and was now living with her fiancé. Everyone was moving on but in the most beautiful way.

We were living with the most positive vibes now. We had our close group of friends who were so supportive and we always made time to visit our families.

Lilly was no longer in the picture.. and neither was Ryan apparently. She was in a Psych facility for four months until she was released and nobody ever heard from her again. She had probably moved back to Texas and had maybe even had her baby by now.. Either way, we were glad to no longer have to deal with her.

"Let's go baby.. before you're late to your own premiere!" I heard Bryce say before he pulled me out of the house. We jumped into the limo that my producers had sent to my house.. so we could arrive in style. And that we did.

As soon as we arrived, we were hit with flashing lights. We waved at everyone, smiling as we walked down the red carpet hand-in-hand. We took multiple pictures, everyone asking us for couple ones. "This is a braddison world, we are just living in it!!" We heard one of the photographers say as he took his shots, making us laugh.

As we got towards the end of the carpet, we walked inside, Bryce leading me towards where my co-stars were hanging out. I hugged everyone, Bryce greeting them as well as he had already met them at prior events. We made small conversation before we were all asked to enter the theatre.

As we took our seats, Bryce held my hand, smiling at me as he kissed my cheek. "I'm so proud of you.." he whispered, making me blush. He was always my biggest supporter and for that, I would forever be grateful. I thanked him as the lights were dimmed down and the movie began.

He cuddled me in his arms as we watched the movie, Bryce seeming to love it.. which made me so happy. This was something I was actually so proud of.

I was on a high with this movie, being so thankful to have been a part of the production. But all of it went by so quick. The audition, the filming, the premiere... soon, we found ourselves back on our couch, Bryce cuddling me as he left kisses all over my face.

"My girlfriend is a movie star.. I'm the luckiest man on the planet!" He said, making me blush as I thanked him.

We had both undressed and showered as soon as we got home, throwing on pajamas. We wanted to have a lowkey night, one in which Bryce would put on a movie and I would fall asleep in his arms. We had totally become that boring couple but I didn't care, I was happy in his arms. He was all I needed.

As I began to doze off into my sleep though, we heard the doorbell go off. I sat up, asking him if he was expecting anybody.

He shook his head, neither of us had invited anybody over. "I'll go check.. it might just be one of the guys.." he said, his boys sometimes coming over spontaneously.

He stood up and walked to the door, leaving me on the couch as I laid back down and made myself comfortable again. I hugged the pillow that Bryce left behind, but it wasn't as comforting as his arms. I heard Bryce open the door though but didn't really hear anybody respond to him.. weird..

"Uhh.. Addison.. can you come here?" 

** happy four months to my babies!!! after last night, can we only have positive vibes today pls and thank u 💓 my biggest flex is never having doubted bryce because i know he could never 😋
